Let's cook

  1. Everything frozen

    All the fruit goes in frozen. Fresh fruit plus ice makes a watery base that separates within minutes.

  2. Minimal liquid

    Add only 3 tablespoons of milk to start. You can always add more; you cannot take it out.

    💡

    Restraint with the liquid is the entire technique.

  3. Blend with a tamper

    Blend on low, stopping repeatedly to push the mixture into the blades. It should move like soft-serve.

  4. Chill the bowls

    Use bowls straight from the freezer — it buys several extra minutes before the base softens.

  5. Top and eat immediately

    Smooth the surface, arrange the toppings in rows, and eat right away.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

If your blender struggles, let the frozen fruit sit out for exactly three minutes — any longer and you lose the thickness. A food processor often handles this better than a jug blender.

  • Vegan: Coconut yoghurt and maple syrup.
  • Higher protein: A scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of silken tofu.
  • Green: Add spinach — it changes the colour but not the flavour.
